Earthquake in the province of Sichuan

When a serious earthquake in Sichuan destroyed whole villages in May 2008, our employees immediately initiated a private fund-raising campaign to help colleagues and families that were affected. They collected a total of 75,000 euros and handed over the money to the Chinese Red Cross for short-term aid.

To continue to help in the long run, TÜV Rheinland is taking part in an initiative launched by Germany´s Federal Foreign Office and the Asia Pacific Committee of German Business to help rebuild schools in the affected area. Along with reconstruction work, TÜV Rheinland is helping improve teaching quality. At one of the schools, books and teaching materials have already been supplied thanks to the commitment of our employees in Greater China. Emloyees have also implemented training schemes for the teachers.
